Visited the House yesterday. What a beautiful restoration. Found the audio guides really good and simple to use, to be able to stop and start them as you wish is really nice so you don't feel rushed and can pause to contemplate when you want to. Personally would like a bit more information and displays on the restoration of the building and how it has changed over the years. The sections showing the original wallpaper and friezes were excellent.

The house was closed on the day we went - as was the road - but that's another story. The garden and the exhibition telling the story of the restoration are well worth the visit. Very good welcome at the gate, and the walk up through the garden was an absolute pleasure. Hard to imagine that just a few short years ago this area was occupied only by holiday bungalows.

We were delighted that long-lost features of Tennyson's garden have been restored. The fragments of his poetry scattered around the grounds are a reminder of the very special history of this place. The exhibition - well illustrated with documents and photos - brings the house to life. This has clearly been a labour of love for the new owners, who deserve full credit for all they have done in this remarkable project.

We stayed in one of the lets on the Farringford Estate, in the old stable block. The let was well appointed, with all that we would need for our stay. It was the home of the Poet Laureate, Alfred Lord Tennyson, and I had a family connection as one of my great uncles worked on the estate, eventually becoming the chauffeur.

Do visit, it's a lovely place to stay and you have the Isle of Wight as your playground!
